Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie with Dulce de Leche

March begins the third month of the #BakingWithBeth recipe series and the theme for March is all things pies (because 3.14159!!). We’re kicking off pie month with a super rich and amazing cast iron skillet chocolate chip cookie pie with dulce de leche! I love a good chocolate chip cookie pie. It’s fabulous on its own, but I figured we could take things up to an 11 and add some dulce de leche in the center. I mean, chocolate and caramel…what’s not to love?!

I had leftover dulce de leche from the homemade DIY Samoas, which is what originally contributed to this idea. You can make your own, or you could always use some of the canned dulce de leche from the store if you’re not up for the full time commitment of the homemade variety. Or whip up a more speedy creamy caramel instead. I’ll have to try a side-by-side comparison sometime soon and see which wins out – creamy caramel vs dulce de leche! I predict an overly indulgent tie with cookie crumbs, caramel and chocolate smeared on each judge’s face.

A chocolate chip cookie pie (with or without dulce de leche) is the perfect quick and easy treat to bake for all the up coming spring and summer bbq’s! Or even just a casual weekend dessert. 🙂

What do you think… are you a purist with a chocolate chip cookie pie, or does a chocolate chip cookie pie with dulce de leche take it to an 11?

Cheers y’all!
